        It’s all fucked.

        Russia fucks around until someone deems them worthy of finding out. Sure, it seems fun when U.S. pilots are cranking up the AC/DC and doing their hero walk on the way to wipe every single Russian airbase and fuel depot off the map, but then half of the west’s water systems, electrical grids, and networking infrastructure gets hacked and severely damaged/bricked. Russia gets hacked and grinds to a standstill. China takes advantage of the chaos and invades Taiwan. The U.S. bombs the chip fabs in Taiwan into powder, and anti-satellite operations trigger the Kessler syndrome. Maybe some of the other regional conflicts pop off, too.

        The bright side is that assuming no nukes fly, we’ll see earth’s habitability improve for a while, once people starve and consumption/ability to produce goes way down.

        Yeah, they’ve proved that to everyone who has succumbed to constant Russian propaganda.

            We ignore the rise of right-wing parties within Europe etc…

            You mean the right-wing puppets of the Russians? Supported to destabilize the west? Those ones?

            Comrade I don’t know what game you are playing but your russian propaganda won’t bring you far here…

        He says in defence of the country which formerly proclaimed to have the second best army in the world, but also

        • struggles to complete its three day adventure in Ukraine for more than two years now,
        • has to hide its navy,
        • lost most of its active aviation, tanks and APCs, and
        • (my personal favourite) has to resort sending troops into battle in Chinese golf carts as transport options seem to run.

        But the West is a laughing stock.

        Dang. Can I get some of the shit you are on?

            Technically the drones are a naval force. Just a very cheap and surprisingly effective one.

            Russia’s naval force has been a bit of paper tiger for a while now. Some of their warships practically run on coal.

        Funny how they can do that without NATO being involved at all beyond some member states providing weapons and training. The biggest damage NATO has suffered so far is from second hand embarrassment.

        The amount of next level bending over Putin have been forced to do for Xi the last two years… and just to destabilize the world… Oh my. The pricetag on that one…

        Long after the situation is stabilized, Russia will still be paying to China for the help they got.
